does anybody know of a way to use a bluetooth gamepad as a midi controller in linux? I've been searching without much luck.

There's nothing better in this world than waking up and realising you have leftover pizza.

Sent in my solarpunk art piece to a contest.

I’m just going to say it. The people you’re worried about losing contact with if you leave Facebook will find a way—text, email, Zoom, Slack, whatever—to stay in touch if you matter enough to them.

#Seattle now has an indigenous #radio station.

"Our goal is to have 90% Native American (encompassing all the Americas from the Arctic to the Antarctic) music and up to 10% of music from those who specifically support Indigenous causes or have spent significant time learning Native instruments and styles."

the fact that emasculate means to take masculinity away but effeminate doesn't mean to take femininity away has always pissed me off

If you find some cool art via RedBubble, Etsy, TeeSpring, etc: Don't buy it! There's a very high chance it's stolen, and your money will NOT go to the artist.

Take a moment to check the artist's pages elsewhere and see that you're looking at one of their own listings, or if they have their stuff elsewhere.

If you can't find the artist via the shop page, then it's almost certainly stolen, please don't buy it, save your money for something else.

"I expected someone..."
"Taller?"
"Yes," the knight said, looking down at the dragon.
"Dragons grow in proportion to their hoard."
"I heard your hoard was huge, thousands and thousands of books."
"It is."
"But?"
"I went digital," the dragon said, showing the SD card they lay on.

@solarpunkgnome nO!!!! ruinous anti-social technology!!!!!!

I spent a day helping to maintain a 3000-year-old hillside chalk monument with a group from Long Now London. Crushing chalk into the ground with a hammer was so satisfying that I kept forgetting to enjoy the view, and I had some great conversations with the interesting people that the task attracted (including @mdales)

Here's a writeup with photos from the previous excursion: https://medium.com/the-long-now-foundation/what-a-prehistoric-monument-reveals-about-the-value-of-maintenance-4d1b89343984

Racist-colonialist capitalism operates by misusing terms like "natural" and "universal," hiding its highly social and contingent assumptions under these platitudes, walling itself off from criticism like a coward.
